This one caught me by surprise I can usually detect your style instantly, but I guess with one line not so much! This was just what I was looking for great personification! Thanks for a class entry!

Hi Constance, Yes, the rose would have this worry. This is such a beautiful Monoku. The stately rose, the bush itself shall always be, giving new blooms for those taken so it shall ever be. Foe the bush to die, that would be the sadness. It's blooms whared between lover's it would allow and have joy, at least i believe this. Your heart ever beats Love as does your rose, it shall never be found in a vase. Your rose ever shines in our hearts. This has to be a seven. Good luck. Love,,,,Mike, XX

Hopefully, you will never be cut off from the wonders of life. I wish I could redo the order of the universe sometimes. When I think of that, I also may think of you because of what you endured and how you express yourself about it. I hope you will have joy from every experience today and tomorrow. Pleasant wishes to you!

How wonderfully deep and clever BW. It should speak volumes to every intelligent, beautiful woman who is undervalued because of her looks.
